Absolutely love the renovation with the irori. I just bought my first traditional folk house in Higashi Hiroshima and uncovered the irori last weekend. I'm excited to re-integrate it into the house! My thatched roof is covered with copper now, but I plan on using some type of ventilation for my irori.
The trouble with this, is that it is extremely popular, and old places are suddenly and strangely deemed not appropriate, so they get deconstructed for their parts and something brand new gets built in their place. Factories and warehouses are becoming scarce.
Love these almost as much as Japanology. Always interesting subjects covered surprisingly in-depth considering the form and time set off. The music is wonderful and the female voiceover is mesmerizing and soothing. Anyone know her name or if she has done something else?
I love the hapless Hero, he's so oblivious. You just want to shake him when he's got no idea but isn't that good acting? hey.. the blonde westerner Ive seen him in tea ceremony episodes on other shows .. maybe begin japanology? maybe my memory fails me.
jindai doesn't mean burried in the soil since the time of the deities . Jindai just means the time of the deities. And Jindaimoku means wood from the time of the deities, but it never mentions soil or buried . You have to learn Japanese a little before translating a Japanese show /
